Disc Golf Rival

I love this game. It isn’t very realistic, but doesn’t need to be. In real disc golf you can’t score by hitting the post, the extreme rollers are exaggerated, there are no launchers in the real game, etc. It’s like eating at Olive Garden. You can’t call it authentic Italian because it isn’t, but if you like it, eat it. Two flaws I’ve seen. 1. It can be hacked. I was beaten by a dead shot. After it stopped rolling and lay dead it suddenly appeared in the basket and I lost. That was after wind should have carried it far from the basket and it did, but it took a miraculous roll, circled the basket and died. 2. The method of promoting is goofy. It should be based on percentage of par and wins. Instead it is based on the money winnings over a period. I want a chest to unlock so I am going to play until I get one. If I play 8 rounds to win a chest and lost the previous 7, I am doing poorly and should not be promoted because I got the chest. But I still love the game.

First off, the game play isn’t very realistic, but then again, what golf games are? I highly enjoy this game as a distraction while getting to the actual disc golf course might be more treacherous. Pros: 1) The physics of disc roll are pretty accurate. I like the tie in of different fades and curls along with the “experience” upgrades as you use a disc more. 2) There are a myriad of discs to expand your collection. We all know that is a favorite part of disc golf. I wish the discs could be purchased with in game money though. 3) Play is fairly glitch free. An occasional freeze has occurred, however, 4) Customer service and tech support is VERY quick to address issues. Server updates are pretty consistent. Cons: 1) Some of the launchers are ridiculous (highly unnatural) and provide edges early on, but the winds get out of hand at the upper levels. No one is playing disc in consistent 15 mph winds...which makes the launchers necessary to stay competitive. 2) The game can be hacked. I’ve seen discs jump from far off course to in the basket and have played against multiple dead-eye players at WAY lower levels than me who ace shoot outs and hit baskets with albatrosses regularly. Bots are even in disc golf apparently... 3) Courses are a bit repetitive. All that said, I have lost a lot of time on this game recently. It is a great distraction!

This game is a lot of fun for someone up to this point who wasn’t into any kind of golf at all. I like how the game allows you to obtain different discs and launchers. It’s nice that a lot of others are playing so you get matched pretty quick. There are two things that I’d love to see. 1. Either there be no time limit for a shot or more time to make a shot. I’ve finally been able to get several discs and launchers with that said there have been a few matches where I found myself trying to figure out what angle or type of throw/disc I wanted and before I knew it the clock was ticking past 10 seconds. This causes me to rush my shot so I don’t give up my turn. I get it that nobody has all day to wait for someone else, however I don’t think it’s fair to make the players rush. 2. It would be nice if I could change launchers/discs if I have more then one for any shot during a match. I’ve noticed that you only get to change discs when you tee off after that you can’t change the disc your using. I’ve watched a little real world disc golf and just like real golf most of the players have at least two discs to use for any given shot. I hope these changes/improvements could be added to the game to increase the fun to those who play this game.

This game was fun for about a week. It’s really a well developed game but my biggest complaint is that it counts if you hit the bottom pin of the hole (underneath the basket). This really takes away the fun of the game. I’ve been playing for about 2 weeks and have gotten to the point where probably 60-70% of the games are settled by an approach shot to the basket and the disc hits the bottom goal pin. That is not the rules of disc golf so when you lose a match to something like that it feels like a cheap loss. The rules of the game are to get the disc IN the basket or chains. Playing any other way is not fun imo. Also you can only do one on one matches for one hole. Would be a lot more fun and interesting if you could play a full 9 or 18 holes. Also would be more fun to be able to play with friends. In conclusion this game is fun for about a week. Lack of actual rules and ability to play more than one game type makes it very boring very fast.

Disc Golf Rivals is a unique take on an excellent sport. It is quite polished and in my limited time playing, I have greatly enjoyed my experience. Perhaps some users will become ambitious enough to try the sport out physically! 😜 However, I do have a recommendation. Disc Golf Rivals is essentially the disc golf version of Golf Clash. It shares many of the same characteristics. The one I would like to see the most is the introduction of some sort of “clan” feature. Playing with the same clan in Golf Clash has improved the experience for me and allowed for rival clans to compete with one another for points and positioning. I believe this feature would take Disc Golf Rivals to the next level! Regardless, the game is still quite fun and I look forward to future updates. Great job to everyone involved with creating it!
